Does anyone know how to keep my humidity relative to my temperature? I’ve also been having a lot of trouble the past couple of days keeping my temp and humidity stable.

Put the tupperdore somewhere away from air vents and and exterior walls. You might do well to put in a closet with blankets or clothes all around it. That will reduce the temperature swings. If you get boveda packs to add inside and leave it sit for a week then check the Rh you should be in a good spot. I use Govee Bluetooth hyrgrometers to show me what the temp and RH is and I can see what the swings are over an hour/day/week/month/year and establish what the average is stabilized at. The less you disturb it the more stabile it will become. The more stabile it becomes the cigars will actually help maintain the RH and you’ll see faster RH recovery when you do open to pick a tasty stick.

Thanks man! That’s some good info. I will put a blanket over it and see what happends. I will also put my humidor in a closet and hope for the best. Thanks again👍🏻

Boveda packs in an environment that isn't super temperamental. Biggest thing I've seen and know from experience is those hygrometers can be temperamental and sometimes inaccurate, how positive of the results are you? Are they calibrated properly?

They should be calibrated properly. However, I just got those hygrometers yesterday. So I will keep a eye on them. Thanks for the response!

Base rule i found is dont cheap out on them. If they come in a multi pack, they aren't going to be more accurate than +/- 5 degrees/%

I use heartfelt beads many use boveda packs. Either is two way meaning it will hold a set point if humidity goes up or down.
Ok I might need to look into the beads. Thanks for the reply man!
Amazon has both. Beads you keep forever, boveda you toss after a while. You order by rh level many going with 65%. A beads setup for a 300 size humidor runs like $20 usd.
I didn’t know that. I though beads were temporary. Thanks for the reply!!
